HAIR WAVER.

Application led July 11, 1923. Serial No. 650,917.

To all whom t may concern:

Be it known that I, HARRY A. SEYMORE, a citizen of the United States, residing at Cincinnati, in the co-unty of Hamilton and State of Ohio, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Hair lVavers, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to a novel hair Waver and more particularly to a device of this character especially adapted to wave the hair of an individual Without the application of heat.

The primary objects of my invention are to provide a simple and efficient hair Waver adapted to quickly wave the hair of an individual in such a manner as not to require renewal as often as usually is required in the use of an ordinary cold hair curler or Waver; to provide a hair Waver which is more convenient for the user to remove the hair therefrom because of its exibility, polished surface and smooth edges; to provide a flexible hair Waver adapted to conform to the contour of the head of the wearer thereby minimizing the inconvenience when worn at night; to provide a hair Waver which is extremely durable in construction and having no parts which are susceptible to requiring replacement; and to provide a flexible hair Waver adapted to receive varied quantities of hair and capable of waving said hair irrespective of the quantity or thickness of the same.

My invention consists in the combination and arrangement of parts as herein set forth and claimed.

In the drawing:

Fig. l is a side elevation of my invention showing my invention in open position;

Fig. 2 is an end elevation of my invention' Fig. 3 is an opposite end elevation; and

Fig. 4 is an enlarged side elevation showing my invention in closed position.

In the preferred construction of my invention cylindrical spiral l has longitudinal pin 2 integral with one end thereof and is curved at connection 3 substantially in the shape of a hair pin thereby permitting hook 4 integral with the other end of the cylindrical spiral to receive end 5 of the longitudinal pin lwhereby spiral 1 and pin 2 are substantially in parallel relation to each other. The end 5 is urged in engagement with the hook by the spring in connection 8 caused by the adaptation of the material used in the making of my device.

In operation end 5 of longitudinal pin 2 is released from hook 4 as shown in Fig. l. A strand of hair consisting of a number of hairs somewhat dependent upon the length thereof is then positioned near the main body of hair. My device is then positioned near the head of the individual and the strand of hair is placed between cylindrical spiral 1 and longitudinal pin 2 adjacent connection 3 and is firmly held in position while the complete strand of hair is Wound around the longitudinal pin. Thereupon end 5 of longitudinal pin 2 is secured in hook 4, as shown in Fig. 4, thereby securing the hair around the longitudinal pin and forcing the hair in engagement with the cylindrical spiral. The flexibility of my device in combination with the spirals formed in cylindrical spiral l causes it to automatically adjust itself to the quantity of hair wound around the spiral. The space of time required to wave hair by the use of my invention depends upon various conditions. as for instance, the humidity of the atmosphere tends to retard the process while if the hair is slightly dampened and my invention is used in an atmosphere of low humidity the process of waving the hair is quickened. The form of the material used in making my invention is substantially smooth and is especially adapted to permit removing the hair therefrom without the hair becoming entangled in the device. The device has smooth edges, and. therefore, will not damage the hair by cutting 0r breaking it.

It will, therefore, be seen that I provide a particularly simple construction for the purposes set forth while at the same time the hair Waver will prove thoroughly practical in use. Furthermore, the device is of such construction that .it may readily be applied to substantially any ndividuals hair for the purposes as herein set forth.

Having thus described the inVenti0n,what

5 I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters :Batent szv Y Y Y In a hair Wever, alongitudinal pin adapted to receive hair therearound, a spiral con neeted to one end of said pin and having a hook at the other end thereof adapted to receive said pin whereby said pin and said spiral are substantially in parallel relation to each other, and whereby said hair is compressed by said spiral for the purposes specified.
